Honami’s camera app ported to Xperia Z/ZL/Tablet Z

We recently reported on a number of new features that are expected to be introduced in Sony’s upcoming Honami flagship. Asides from some significant UI changes, Sony is going to town on the imaging side bringing new features such as Augmented Reality modes, Timeshift (choose your best photo) and Info-Eye (visual search) amongst others.

Other behind the scene improvements include new super-resolution image processing and new camera libs. The great thing is that you don’t have to wait for Sony’s new flagship to hit the market to try out these new features, as krabappel2548 from xda-developers has done the hard work for us. He has created a mod that will work on the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL and Xperia Tablet Z running Android 4.2.2. See some of the new camera UI screenshots below and hit the source link for installation details.

Hahaha I’am from holland and the text on these screenshots are dutch. Yesterday i noticed the blog with new UI pictures and they are also with dutch text.

1 pictures told us 4 hours and 7 minutes on the Honami with Stamina mode.. Is this possible on a 2700-3000 mah?

And by the way guys.. You all know what Eldar Martazin said on twitter few weeks ago. “Just tested a improved Z with the s800.”

Could this be the Improved Z or the Honami on the 4th of July in France?

I’m in India still i’m not receive 4.2 update for my XZ c6602

jumbo3220

his pic you mean? 4 dagen 7 uur ? as i knw it means 4 days and 7 hours not 4 hours and 7 minutes :/ anyways this could be XZ with 800 chip..but old XZ users will go nutz by this..

Android Telegraph

The RAZR i has even better battery life with a 2000mAh battery. Granted, the awesome Intel chipset on the RAZR is also a reason, but it does seem possible with the right optimization and the Stamina mode.

yuskhayru

are sure want to do that? rofl

Silas Arentsen

Why not make kids and sell those?

Martijn

Haha oops sorry my wrong, your right! True Story.. Maybe it is an Improved Z with S800. We just have to wait till the 4th of July but i trust Eldar on twitter. Sony wont do 2 events just for the UltraZ. At least I hope so..

I think Sony was trying to implement it in the JB 4.2.2 for Z/ZL, bt due to panic by maniac customers, der was all chaos around….. And again htc was ready with its update which would have given boost to this situation…… To the customers, better be patience aftr all Sony is the only company which brings major changes with its upades. Proud owner of Xperia Z

they did for the XZ, if I remember there was the real launch, plus another event few days later in london. I’m sure 99% july 4 event in france won’t be honami launch.

I just went into my e-mail and a insider of Sony told me that the Honami will be presented on the 4th of July in France. But no information of the device have been told by the insider.

I cannot give any information from the e-mail to anyone, but i’am allowed to tell it.

NeBu PaUl

I want a to pause a video while recording .Is that possible in this new SONY UI ?

I think he has 3 balls that’s why he want to sell 1 of them in order to become normal back

Reynaldi Sutrisno

please port it to xperia SP <3

Julio Spinoza

also the xperia z is Full HD, you need a lot of battery to move that screen and the graphics, RAZRi is single core and Z is quad core, Intel does not have chip for radio, my old motorola i4 with 1400mA has better battery life that those, you can compare

HardyHarHar

How can we tell that this camera app is indeed from honami and not in an upcoming firmware or from Xperia Z Ultra? Hmmm

HardyHarHar

Also what about the video modes? I heard Xperia Z has 4k video recording and 60fps/120fps fast video recording…

M Usman

none of the apks work after flashing using recovery and root. disappointed

Faisal Armand

Do I have to root my Z to get this camera app? I will lose my warranty if I do it..

I ain’t even got the 4.2.2 yet :(

dil2abu

Edit the build.prop and update through pc companion or sus..
I updated my z to 4.2.2 yesterday.. M from India too..

dereknobuyuki

you will need root
you will also need a deodexed version of the stock ROM
even then, it might not work properly or well.

This kind of thing may be fun to play with, but if you are worried about losing your warranty, then I’d recommend against it.

I thought this Honamoi will be the “Cybershot” branded and have an dedicated lens (Sony Alpha Lens) and even interchangeable Filter … or is this another phone?

Sebabo

Don’t get me wrong I like the 20MP Sensor BUT i thought they wouldn’t make the same mistake as Samsung and just crank up the MPxel and put “some” Camera Software features on top … I hoped they would position ist as “the phone for photographers” aka a real comeptitor to the Nokia Series. But this is … I don’t know … ist just another phone. And get please get rid of these ugly icons
